If you decide that a child can safely
ride up front, be sure to:
●
Carefully read the owner's manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.
●
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
●
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.
●
Check that the child's seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
●
Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to fasten the seat belts
or sit properly.
Additional Safety Precautions
●
Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across the neck. This could result
in serious neck injuries during a
crash.
●
Do not let a child put the shoulder
part of a seat belt behind the back
or under the arm. This could cause
very serious injuries during a
crash. It also increases the chance
that the child will slide under the
belt in a crash and be injured.
●
Two children should never use the
same seat belt. If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
●
Do not put any accessories on a
seat belt. Devices intended to
improve a child's comfort or
reposition the shoulder part of a
seat belt can make the belt less
effective and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
